so alex – it’s ok to be misleading and unethical if the outcome is that you are successful in generating interest in your product…

In his haste to hear himself talk, Mike made the major mistake of not researching their prior businesses. So they attempted to generate interest in their company, big deal. It might not have been the most ethical way to go about it, but it did succeed. We'll see how much Mike likes to talk once their company is firmly established. No kidding.

This was not at all our intent and we thought we made it very clear during the process (the invite font was big and red). Since a few people have had a problem with this we have changed the process so that this will not happen in the future. Again we are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding and support.
